Joint Venture Cooking - Bread Just Out of the Oven

 Good morning,

We share cooking and baking duties around here.  Kjell is a master at preparing fish and meats. I am the bread (and a few other things) maker.

The image above is bread just out of the oven and the house smells ooooooh, so good!

Catherine is also great in the kitchen, but at this time of the year, she is busy in her office.  Quite a few client tax returns are on extension because the data needed for their returns arrives after April 15.  

We have a great team!

Who is the chef at your home?

All the best,

Lois

Daddy in the Kitchen

 Good morning,

I'm lucky to have a resident chef.  That's Kjell preparing pork to go on the grill.

Yum!

All the best,

Lois

Gravlax in the Windjammer - Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

There are so many choices of restaurants and types of food aboard Royal Caribbean ships.  
A quick meal is available in the Windjammer.  It's buffet style so you can go directly to whatever you want quickly. 

 Catherine sent us these images.  It is great to see Gravlax served here!  Gravlax is raw salmon cured for several days with salt, sugar, and some type of alcohol (we use cognac here at home).  

This is a Scandinavian treat!  We love it!

If you haven't already, try it!  

Enjoy!

Pool Deck - Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

This is part of the pool deck aboard Ovation of the Seas.

Since we were on board the ships have grown to huge floating entertainment centers including the pool deck options.  There are so many things to do for adults and children now that weren't available on the ships when Royal Caribbean first puts ships into the water.

It's beautiful!   It's fun!  

Enjoy!

North Star Aboard Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

There is something new on some Royal Caribbean ships since Kjell retired and we came home from the high seas.  It's called the North Star.

That capsule you see above rises above the ship so that those inside can enjoy fantastic views. 

 Here Erica and Catherine enjoyed the North Star and we have this picture to document it!

It's not for those afraid of heights, but it certainly is a unique adventure for those who are not!

Enjoy,

Lois

View From the Bridge - Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

On most Royal Caribbean ships, there is a camera on the Bridge that is used to send images to guest cabins.

It's fun to check out the Bridge channel from time to time.  

Ah, yes, cruising....

Work in Process - Yellow Scandinavian Intarsia Hat

 Good morning,

My current Work in Process is another Scandinavian Intarsia Knit hat.  These are a sampler of the stitches found on Classic Norwegian Sweaters.  I just love making these!  Each hat is one of a kind.

There are more similar hats in a variety of colors in the shop already here. Come take a look!  

We have more than 300 items in the shop ready to ship now.  We hope you'll shop with us here:  https://EvensensProductions.Etsy.com.

All the very best,
